Wait, now someone can play a game from my library while Im playing another? That’s huge
It also allows you to own multiple copies of the same game, which is another huge step in regards to parental controls. If you and both of your kids enjoy a game, you can buy three copies for your account and set restrictions on when/how long they can use it.

Does it? I assumed it works like this but I could be wrong.

Three out of five members in the family has the same game. That means three people in the family can play that game at the same time.

I don’t think it does. It allows 3 members to play if there are 3 copies in the family, but each account can still only have 1 copy. You can’t buy 3 copies for your account.
